Talkin' Cowboys: Prediction Time

you would have corrected. And Mickey Spagnola, I don't know. Oh there it is, okay, and Mickey Spagnola, And how are you doing today on this Friday? How do you do? It? Is Cowboys Eagles on Sunday and we are just over two days away. It's three twenty five Texas time at the Link in Philly, Sunday afternoon. Yes, because I'm fired up about this, all right. He's very very dramatic voice. Voice, that's exactly right. Yeah, it's like the world is coming to an end on the game. I'm working here, I'm

working here. Well, he's got a Super Bowl hat on right, Yep. Yep. Well, the playoffs start Sundays, right, they're already in the playoffs last week, last week, actually two weeks ago for Philadelphia. Right, that's true, that's right, that's right. They're now two seven and seven teams battle for the NFC East Championship. The Cowboys win, they win the NFC East. And as we speak on this Friday morning, a cloudy, forty seven degree Friday in Frisco, Texas, the Cowboys are taking the practice

field and they are working outdoors. And this is the best omen of all for Cowboys fans out there. You tell them it's forty seven degrees in Frisco, Texas. And you know what the game time temperature in Philadelphia is going to be on Sunday afternoon, thirty five, forty seven seven degree. It's forty six. The high. When's the high gonna happen on in Philadelphia's one o'clock. It's gonna get dark at for thirty years. My weather said it's gonna be forty seven in Philly. And so Mother Nature is

smiling upon this Cowboys team as we see. I don't know there's two things that he in another life, he's gonna come back either as an NFL official or a weatherman. One of the two. Trust him. I trust Mick. Okay, but okay, when the sun goes down in Philadelphia, it's not forty seven for you gronks out there saying that, Oh, Jerry Jones has that team into her little bubble and

he won't go out and practice in the elements. Well they're out in the elements today and it's exactly what the weather is going to be like in Philly on Sundays, and the grass is going to be exactly the same. Painted. Yes, do they have they have real grass. Yes, and that's why they're out there. Oh that's nice. Nice what you were playing on. That's not fair. And then you could go grass in Philly. The turf out there was probably the worst turf in the event. Oh, absolutely dangerous. Yeah, yeah,

I'm talking dangerous. It seems you see the scenes were like an inch wide in between you know, each whatever you want to call it, a piece of carpett. So we were talking about this the other day. Do you remember the receiver that blew out like both kneeds. His last name was Davis and he went to LSU that I do remember. His last name is Day was a good,

good player. He reminded me a lot of Cobb. He was one of those very capable guys, very quick, and what he was trying to do when he broke his legs was so athletic because the past came up one of those Russell Wilson pattes with passes with a lot of arc, and he was bending over trying to catch it Willie May style, and as he kept bending, bending, bending, but so that the knees of bending as well, both

of them, both of them snapped, both of them. Since the visual we do nothing I remember, and that was that was all a part of the manipulation of the body, along with the turf itself, hitting the turf itself, the concrete basically. Yet some have more cushion under their turf. Texas Stadium had had great cushion. The only thing about Texas Stadium was the crown, right, I mean, we couldn't even see the other team on the other side, it

seemed like because the crown was so high. You know, I'm covering out routes from side to side and it's like the down to get to the sideline. Yeah, okay, I'm sorry, I still gotta say worst stadium was probably the Astro Dome. I would say that's it. I got that's as wonder of the world. Worst stadium, and it's a wonder why they kept it up so long. The building was a wonder but the field, the field, Yeah, it was wonderful and they still have it down there.

Nobody goes in it. And that's the same term the ghost, the teriff ghosts. The building is still there. It's amazing. I don't know why it's still there anyway. All right, what's the latest on dak He's day to day, day to day, just like us all getting getting getting better, but hasn't done it. Give me something else day to day. Well, if he throws today in practice, it won't be much per Jason Garrett. So he's that throwing that's what you took from that. Yes, well, then he won't throw it today,

That's right. He'll go through an entire week basically not doing a whole lot of throwing at all. Well, actually, what he said is that he would do a little bit of a workout today, he might throw a little on Saturday during the walkthrough, and then have a full workout on Sunday before the game. So that'll give him a better idea of I guess what he's capable of doing. By this time of the year, everything's changed. It's not like the beginning of the year. He doesn't need to

work on his timing with his wide receivers. Everybody knows what's going on there. They hadn't changed the game plan obviously everybody else knows it. So I guess they hadn't changed anything. So I don't I don't think it's a necessity that he practiced at all. He knows what he's got to do. It's like when we were rookies back in eighty one. I remember Maddeness saying something as we got to Game fifteen. He said, this young secondary, they're

not rookies anymore. It makes say we're not rookies anymore. Now we're veterans. We've been through fifteen fourteen games. There's no there's no timing issue with anybody at this point. You still have to practice, of course, you know, I stay in shape, keep your body going. But as far as a mental aspect and how that might suffer this time of year, no, I don't think his his uh, the mental aspect or the connection with his receiver should

suffer at all. You know Witton Whitten said, uh, yesterday that while he's out there, while he's not participating in the play, that he's making the calls. Of course, so he's making the calls. I don't know if he's doing them out loud or whatever. Uh, that he's been very vocal in the meetings. Uh, he's running the meeting still. So he's his because you know, Hill practices drop back like this is what the play is going to be, and you know, get his steps down. But he just

hasn't thrown the football. It is a unique situation though, in terms of, well, it's not ideal game planning and not knowing for sure that you're going to be on offense. Yeah, what his functionality's capability is. But I guess you know he's had it before. Let's something, and he told us yesterday he's had it at Mississippi State. He knows how to manage it. Obviously from a team standpoint, you've got to some degree and protect the player from himself. When

he said, oh, I'm fine, I'm fine. You always have to weigh that. But he's always been pretty honest with him. But I guess, you know, if if he tries it this weekend and he can't. It's it's not feeling good. You roll with Cooper rush and you basically you play your game. But I can't imagine him not I can't, Yeah game, he would have to fail before they put Cooper. Yes,

he's gonna give it an enormous and enormous try. Yeah, I mean there's too much right to because why that's why this defense is important, that they don't fall behind. And then you've got to throw, throw, throw, you want to stay in your game plan. I mean last time, they ended up with a total of one hundred and eighty nine yards rushing on this team, one hundred and eighty nine. It was the most the Eagles and given

up all season. Go back to Zeke's five games against this team in his career, He's averaged one hundred and fifteen rushing yards and almost five yards of carry, which is impressive when you think about the quality of that Eagles defensive front home. Especially, Yeah, they played much bad at home. They play much bad at home. They don't give up many yards at home at all. There's a big difference between they're affecting this on the road versus

they're affecting this at home. You know the curious thing about that front when we look at it as this really good pass rush, right, Well, they've got thirty six sacks and I figured out that m sixteen of them came in two games, ten against the Jets and six against Seattle. So almost half their sacks were in two games. Now that counts, right, I don't know count. I mean, if you get hot in the game, it doesn't mean the other team's bad. Maybe you're just rolling, but are

not a bad team. Ten sacks and that was the Jets. Dude, Yeah, the Jets. One thing. I know you're still on the Jets, but I mean you're talking to Seahawks. Yeah, that's the quality. That's quality sacks there. And I saw that game and they lost. That's a very exciting game, though, very exciting game. That's an ugly win. That's one of those ugly wins that I hope the Cowboys there don't. I mean, I don't want my quality back getting hit six times. That's

the problem that I'm worried about. Two things. I'm worried about how defensively we're gonna play against the Eagles running game, because they do have a formidable running game. This a young kid. What's his name? Man? This guy is he was just he's just he's a barkley guy. He reminds

me a bar but he backed him up. Wow, pretty good, nice win, Bill, And he can do what he did in the third quarter against the Redskins and line up, come out of the backfield, line up out wide and go make a play in the passing game on you too, And that they've played running backs this year who can beat you in the screen game and all that. They've got to be as sound as they were against the Rams, which might have been their most sound game. They played

a defend. What they're strong at is where we've been weak. Yep, screen passes, tight end game, tight ends, Yeah, running back into passing game. So that's where we've been weak. So that's that's that has to be a concern. So you're talking defensively, how we can we can talk about how Zeke may be the catalyst and we want them to be the catalyst, but it maybe be like the three game losing streak to where we can't stop them defensively.

So therefore Zeke is now persona NATO. And the way they stopped them the first time around, they had four takeaways. That was huge, right off to bat right, two first two possession possessions right, and then I think it was an interception and another fumble. Went Wentz fumbled twice, lost two fumbles and Dallas Goddard lost the fumble in that game. And then there was a pick. And then that was a game where d Law I believe had the fastest

sex Yeah, right, two point eight seconds or something. I mean, come on, that's the guy I want to see. Man, I want to know who's on the stop watch. That's the guy I want to see. I mean, if we start, if we come out talking about how fast d Law has a sack, then we're in good shape because that means it wins is under pressure and his status quo, just like it was in the first game in Dallas.

And that's important to note too, because Lane Johnson was reportedly not practicing early on this morning, so if he's not ready to go, they're they're compromised a little bit on their offensive. Poot vote here it is hollow practice from hollow halt. That's the background. I got it, yes, yep, from TCU who has halt him high school and he's not a bad player. No, but they had to play him before he did. Okay, you might ask Eagles fans if he's bad player or not. They loved their team

that I was listening. I was listening to an Eagles podcast this morning. Yeah, well they were, Well, here's the way they put it. They were talking about Xavier seue Philo filling in for Connor Williams, and they were describing the Well I happened to write down some of the stuff. All right, yeah, they were. This is their review, their review of the Cowboys offensive line. Their offensive line, folks, let me tell you the truth here. It's not even

remotely close to their reputation. They lost Connor Williams, their starter at left guard for the season due to an ACL injury. Xavier sue Philo is filling in it left guard. And then the other guy chimes in, he's how Eagles fans feel when Big V has to get into the Big V. No. No, I don't either. No that and that's my point. Was this the real stuff? Or was the Touchdown Brothers? That wasn't the Touchdown Brothers talking Eagles?

Would you like the review of Zack Martin? Zack Martin probably a little bit overrated, good football player, but he's nowhere near his reputation. Why it makes a Pro Bowl all the time, they're they lived up pretty damn close to their reputation against the Rams when they dominated then, that was that was amazing to me. We kind of just kind of scredded over that. The domination of that

Rams defensive line. Did I hear Aaron Donald's name called once, not until the third quarter when they were marked that. We haven't heard his name called all day, right, We mean, we do give my old line credit. We talked about how they're they're the catalyst with this whole team, But to me, that was amazing. I mean, that Rams d line is pretty pretty good. You got an MVP down there. Okay, you have an MVP down there who hadn't even sniffed

a tackle to the third quarter. He had two assists in the first half, two assistant he probably just fell on the pile, and then one tackle in the second half. One. I mean that that to me, that is so impressive, especially when we're running all over these guys. I mean, it wasn't just that he didn't make a tackle. Well, what we ran for over two hundred yards on him to me that that lets you know just how this how important this old line is to us. And then

we just I just can't give enough credit. So I don't know what they think Martin's doing. I don't know what they're looking at, but building and I talked about it even during the three games stress they were running, they were blocking their butts off and had to meet the touchdown. Brothers had to be friends of us bags. Yeah right, the Italian guys from South Philia and the biggie listens to him every day before he guys talking cowboys.

Last Chance Yell tonight in tomorrow night Going. Um, I cannot go. Are you going? Um? I gotta watch high school football? Oh you're watching high school foot you're going?

Are you attending? Now? I'm joking? It is good. I mean, in fact, that the stadium there. This is day three of four days of triple Headers high school football state championship games. Okay, so mister high school can Dumpkinville win without their quarterback? I know, yes they can, Yes they can. Defense, Yeah, I got guest, defense going is much better than last Well, I got a scouting report on who they're playing, Galena Park north Shore, who they lost to on a hail

Mary on the last play. Well, hell Mary, last play of the game last year. I'm unbelievable. Um, they're apparently better than they were last year. Each team has and in fact, Kyle Yeoman is our producer here. He knows more about it than any of us. So, Kyle, what's the answer to my question? I would say they have a chance, but it's a slight chance, really, they're probably him. Is they've got a freshman back up. I know they're banged up in the secondary to Duncanville. Is so it's

Chris Thompson playing. I think he's still questionable. Okay. Chris Thompson. By the way, is that like a five star recruit? He's going to Auburn, So from from Duncanville. Yeah, so so the running back from last year who was a stud for Dunk going the pot? Okay, Zachary Evans, Yes, he's back. Now that's a five star recruits. The problem there, you go? Yeah, where's he going? I don't know. I actually I need to look that up. Okay, all right, you'll check on that and I'll get back to us

short cast here. That's exactly right. There's an NFL triple header tomorrow. I'm gonna be back and forth watching between the NFL triple header and the high school football state championship triple that plays tomorrow for the NFL. Well, the big game in the game that I'm most interested in this New England and Buffalo. Next the middle game. I got Buffalo on the upset. You do I do that? New England and New England. Yeah, well, New England's not

playing in that well right now exactly. Evans, by the way, is not committed anywhere. Oh so you know you lost their recruit one. By the way, you need to tell you to make sure they got the right cleats for that field in Atlanta. I don't think it's going to matter. That was the slipper. I think they had a new field down. I mean you could see the rubber granules they were splashing all over the place and there they had a different field for the Yeah, because that's that's

like well renowned turf that they have for the Falcons. Yeah, and I'm sure it's the same stuff, but it's a new field and it's like they just put it down and in that LSU game they were slipping all over the place. Grambling has that turf as well. I could tell you a lot about that turf. It's pretty freaking amazing turf. It's way different from what we're accustomed to.

And Rob to answer your question as far as the triple header tomorrow, NFL tripleheader, it all starts at noon with the Houston Texans traveling to Tampa to take on the Buccaneers, who have been read hot there now seven and seven on the year, Buffalo at New England at three thirty, and the seven fifteen game is the Rams at the nine Ers. Definitely. Oh so we can see that one. It'll be eight fifteen on the East Coast, but we'll be flying in that middle game. Okay, so

we've got our Saturday figured out. Now, let's figure out Sunday. Let's do that. What needs to happen for the Cowboys to go into Philadelphia and win? How has this Eagles team changed since the last meeting, which was won by the Cowboys thirty seven to ten. Off the top of your head, immediately comes to mind. The wide receiver position has changed immensely for this team, but so has the secondary.

I mean, remember back when the Cowboys played the Eagles, Orlando Scandrick was the slot corner at the last that's right, Von Austin put him on the bats. Russell Douglas was starting at cornerback in that game as well, so they got Ronald Darby. Ronald Darby is back, Mills Jalen Mills. Jal Mills was just back. He did play in that game.

But they're still having trouble in that secondary that I mean, we talk about their front seven, but that if they've got a weak spot to date, it's been the secondary and some of the past plays allowed. Um. But the Cowboys have shown they can run on them too, So to me, that's what they've got to do. I'm curious though, to see what they do. Do they do they try to sell out and stop the run and gamble that Dak won't beat Dak. That's to me the key to

the game. How they approach things defensively that way. And Avonte Maddox is another one who didn't play in that game who has been starting for him. Um, I mean you're talking about the difference. I mean that's personal the l wise. I get that, But to me, they're they're they're more confident now than they were when they had all of their weapons. I just see it. Eagles, the Eagles.

If I were to look at this team, and if I was an Eagles fan, I would draw so heavily on the last two weeks and how much gut and strength we've shown in the face of a lot of problems and injuries and things of that nature they could have laid down a long time ago. To me, I would draw on that extremely heavily. Personally other things. Yeah, that's all. That's all good. But you know, when you talk about the psyche of this team, the psyche is pretty good right now. Because they eked out two games.

I don't care who the opponent was, they eked out two games they should not have one. And part of that is figuring out how to win games with depleted personnel. And when you look at the way they had the way, Doug Peterson has had to rework his strategy and it all starts with even I mean they've used the two tight ends a lot, but now here in the last

couple of games. Dallas Goddard's got over sixty play sixty snaps in each of the last two games, and yeah, and made some plays in the first game against Dallas Um. But give credit to Carson Wentz too, because he's been under a lot of fire and sometimes he's not as accurate as you'd like him to be. But these I think the last two wins they've had ever since spoke about it fourth quarter and over time, I think he's throwing four touchdowns and no picks. He's been touchdown the

last test day through against a Norman for the Bass games. Yeah, I mean on his back foot as Klutz pass a little lob. Yeah, you know, he knew, he knew how to throw it. He knew exactly what he was doing that. And let's just face it, guys, if you're gonna gut some games out, you can only got them out with good defense. And their defense has been They've been holding people down, giving Cosson and this Eagle's offense a chance to win for those two games. That's what makes me nervous.

You know, I saw a stat they was talking about their defense and worrying about the amount of points. They've given up eighty one points in the last three games, but two of those games were on the road. So in their last six home games home games, they've given up seventeen, seventeen, seventeen, fourteen and six. So where they had trouble at home with defense was the two first two home games twenty seven to Washington twenty seven to Detroit.

So in both games, Washington scored twenty seven points on them, and that was what they had scored last time and should have won the game if they didn't mess it up at the end. But at home they've been pretty good defensively. Everson nailed on something too. They had that underdog thing going with the dog mask a couple of

years ago. See that. I mean, you don't want them to feed back into that, and that we're playing with house money kind of thing, and we've rallied and all that, and it's it's a little unsettling to me because at some point you go up there and they got the Rocky Muse playing and that crowd's going nuts. There's gonna be moments in the game where the Cowboys are gonna have to overcome something that's right, and that's exactly right.

It's gonna be a challenge up there. And I had it when they come with these dog going uniforms and masks, and I would call the Redskins. Came into Texas Stadium, they had on the fatigue man, they came, they kicked out butts man, we had no chance. As soon as they got off the bus, we didn't have a chance. Well just know the Cowboys aren't sneaking into this, because I saw the little clip of their little postgame locker room celebration and the last thing whoever was talking said,

and you know what weak it is. So they are already foaming at the mouth because the Cowboys are coming to down, so beware, and they think the Cowboys are jacking with them on this injury to Dak Prescott. By the way, Cowboys don't do that. The team they I heard some I heard some remarks and it sounded like, oh, yeah, they're just trying to set us up. And it's like, Yeah, here's how we're gonna set you up. We're gonna take the biggest game of the year and tell our starting

quarterback don't for three days. We got just to fool you. Guys were favorite well, and seriously, why would you tell the other team that he has an injury? I mean, obviously they have to. They would injury report. They wouldn't have zached or Zeke didn't say what I've said, right, you can't do that stuff. They would have said a shoulder, Yeah, but they wouldn't have said what it was, just a sore shoulder, right, got a bruise doctor Zeke. That that's

the pessimism that, yeah, you know runs rampid in Philadelphia. Yeah, I'm not surprised about that. Whatever it takes to get yourself checked up. But they I mean, I'm not saying they have a point, but Dak's gonna play, right. I mean, I think he wasn't out there, but they're not letting them not practice because just trying to off them. Yeah, they don't know that. That's an awfully big Yeah. He's like I said, he's he's itching in his pants right now because he just wants to do something. I'm sure

he wants to be out there throwing. I'm sure he's anxious it. I don't know what because yesterday in his press conference, if you just listen to him, it's like, I'm good, I'm playing. You know, there's no doubt in my mind. I know how to take care of this. He say that with a sling on his army. Okay, that's what they need to do. He needs to go out for the coin toss with a sling on his arm and be funny. Right after he says, that's what we did in the eighties. You can't do that. That's

what we did. That was fun stuff that. Yeah, they'd be like good one saying yeah, I'm good. You know, they gotta put that little thing out sleeve. They had his arm the other day. All Right, we're gonna make our picks, and our picks to click when we come back. You're on talking Cowboys Since eighteen sixty five.

Use the code ship and shot now at get jack Black dot com. All right, we've got a bulletin from the practice field, and what the

report here is Rob Phillips. Can we have a drum roll, please wow, look at that inch. Just saw a tweet from Todd Archer VSPN that Dak was doing some very light look at this like moment ray right. It's a very light throwing out of practice, very little velocity, just you know, ten yards or less. Very light throwing. So it's more like going to old Yeah, very much. It's a little little twitch catch out to your yard. Yeah,

I know, the touch and go thing. Let's go. No no, no patent go for Dak according to other reports, so that was pre patent go. He was throwing a little bit and no patent go not still led by Cooper Rush and Clayton Thorson. Is Clayton Thorson going to get activated this way? I think that's a decision they have to make, and that's tough because you gotta cut somebody, Okay,

you gotta cut somebody. And if Dak's not doing a ton of thrown today, you don't have a great idea of just how functionally is Yeah, and you gotta do it by Saturday at three pm, right, or he could have thrown inside yeah, yeah, right after practice. I don't I don't think they really would be batting the backups. I don't. It's just he's I think he's gonna play even like I said, I'm with you. If he had to go left hand, go okay, that's cool, that's better

than what we got. Yeah, can you hand it off? Good? All right? Can you do? That's all? If they get past Cooper Rush, it's it's over. Yeah. Right, So there's no sense wasting it as you don't have Beasley here anymore to come in, and you got Randall. Yeah we could do good. Yeah, we could have him back the quarterback. But that's a good point, Mick, because at this point the year, you're thinking about who you want to keep for next year, and you don't want to expose somebody

out on waivers that you'd like to keep. This is time teams. Can you know if you're a bad team, Oh yeah, we like this guy. Okay, So, and you don't want to make that move. You don't have to and think about this. So Thorson, I got his name right, he did this week. This week is the first time he's run all the scout team stuff because normally on scout team he's the wide read. Told me he was either the wide receiver or the dB. He goes every

once in a while. I get to play quarterback because Cooper Rush takes care of the snaps on the scout Team's right. You know who was the Scout team quarterback at the walkthrough on Wednesday? The walkthrough on Wednesday had the regular practice in the morning, then they had to walk through with four o'clock in the afternoon on Wednesday. Okay, who was the Scout team quarterback there? Jeff Heath? Nope,

that would be one Jason Garrett. The reason I know that is we takee the Jason Garrett Show on Wednesday, and he showed up like a half hour early, and so the production crew we're all scrambling get the camera operators in there and everything. And the reason is because he needed to be there at three fifty because he was playing quarterback at the walkthrough on Wednesday. Well, he does that in training. Can try? Can I try? All Right, we gotta make our picks. We're running out of time here, Okay,

so who wants to go first? I picked a click and a pick on the game Rob. Rob's going first. Pick. Oh, I get to steal Zeke because I think everybody's probably going, oh, I know he's that's too obvious. Well, I'm gonna be obvious man. Then Zeke picked a click. They got to get the running game going, and I'll go Cowboys twenty seven twenty four with Dak Prescott twenty seven twenty four nail Bider. Yeah, yeah, I told you just gonna be a challenge up there. I'll get that rocky music going.

It's snow joke. I'll go obvious man too. Um, I will take to Marcus Lawrence M Smart vite Tie Smart. He's gonna have his hands full because obviously, um Lane Johnson's not playing if he get in practice today, he hadn't practice all week. And if indeed they're not bluffing with a high ankle sprain, ain't coming back two weeks after it. Mm hmm. What's your show? Oh, I gotta give you a score. Um I had it U twenty

four twenty, Cowboys twenty four twenty. By the way, that's what those Eagles podcasters picked two Cowboys twenty four twenty. You are doing the Eagles podcast. Also, I'm shot so by tie will be drinking my tie because this season will be oh wow, that's why, that's why, that's why when you are doing it it's just different. I don't have to joke, don't. I don't have the joke. Give me twenty more years. That's like wearing a bed one of those ugly person sweaters. You know I've got that

on Monday. Oh you do? Okay, Everson, you're turned Everson Um going Cowboys, of course. And I'm going with the kicker. He's go be huge, high four bad. I love that he's gonna be huge. We we're gonna need him. I hope he's right down the middle. I am looking at, first of all, Zeke in the Wildcat. Oh, we'll probably see that this week. I'm thinking that that would be smart. I had to throw that in the aipolot. Very good,

very good. But no, I'm looking at them probably twenty two, twenty two sixteen, So that's five my field goals in a touchdown, low scoring game. I like twenty two sixteen. All right, I'll go with thirty seven is my number? Okay, thirty And what's the gimmick? Because thirty seven last time? Seven last time because I always got to Sam with William. Remember, I was thinking forty seven because of the temperature, forty seven, but Dak nursing his wing. I'm thinking it's gonna be

thirty Seven's that? What's the super Bowl number this year? Fifty four? Okay, fifty four to thirty And uh oh, I just got notified about something. You know, whose birthday it is today? December twentieth, Everson Walls? Nope, nope, Nathaniel Newton's birthday. Big, that's what I just I just received a text on that. I'm going to confirm it before we leave you here. So I'm going it was thirty seven to ten last time. I'll give him thirty seven

thirteen this time. Okay, that's exactly right. Yeah, and my pick to click, I've got dlog again. I mean, if you're going to be matched up against five, tie again. Okay? Is Lane Johnson last time and he had the fastest sack in NFL history, And so this time, all right, how many times this Carson Wentz fumble in the game? Once? Twice? Last time? He'll get one. I mean, turn off scout

was gonna get takeaways two, two takeaways. Okay, where's everybody at No One's like, yeah, I'm waiting, we might have to go to show up, but keep that music. We're keeping the music going here and we've got any other production predictions, productions. Yeah we need Jackson too. Yeah. I have a prediction that we will be here on Monday.
